Chapter 9 Designing Your Own Master Slides and Themes 131

Changing the Background

One way to create groups of related slides within a presentation (for example, to

distinguish or unify different topics) is to incorporate a subtle difference in the

background of each set of slides. To do so, you create a set of master slides with each

of the different backgrounds.

To modify a master slide background:

1 In the master slide organizer, select the master slide you want to modify.

Â If you are building a new background from scratch, you may want to begin with a

blank master.

Â If you want to retain a copy of the original master, do one of the following to create a

duplicate of the master slide:

Â Choose Slide > New Master Slide.

Â Click New in the toolbar.

Â Choose Edit > Duplicate.

2 Select unwanted elements and press the Delete key.

3 Make your changes to the master.

Â Use Keynote tools to place background elements on the master slide.

Choose a background

color or image.

Create a place for tables,

charts, web views, and

imported graphics to

appear.

Place title and body text

boxes on master slides.

Select to allow objects on

slides to interleave with

objects on the master.
